A Study of the Efficacy of Troxerutin in Preventing Thrombotic Events in COVID-19 Patients
Westlake University
80 participants
Dec 15, 2023
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if troxerutin works to prevent thrombotic events in mild or severe COVID-19 patients. It will also learn about the safety of troxerutin. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does troxerutin lower the number of thrombotic events in participants? * What medical problems do participants have when taking troxerutin? Researchers will compare troxerutin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if troxerutin works to prevent thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients. Participants will: * Take troxerutin or a placebo every day for 7 days. * Visit the clinic at the first, fourth, seventh and 28th days after enrollment for checkups and tests * Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times of thrombotic events, bleeding events and type II HIT-related thrombocytopenia

- Severe respiratory distress
- Oxygen saturation (SpO₂) ≤90% in room air
- Progressive deterioration of clinical symptoms with lung imaging showing significant progression of lesions (>50%) within 24 to 48 hours.
- Written informed consent provided according to Chinese law (by the patient, legal guardian, or deferred consent in emergencies).
